Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infections in pigs: the role of virulence factors in pathogenesis and protection.
This paper discusses the possible role of virulence factors of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in pathogenesis and protection. Special attention is paid to the Apx-exotoxins and to adhesins.
